Petal It Forward!

October 9, 2015 by Leave a Comment

On Wednesday, October 9th, 2015, SAF held a wonderful event promoting flowers and making people smile in the streets of Time Square. Here are the results of this event coming from SAF’s blog, aboutflowersblog.com.

Petal It Forward! Spreading Smiles, Warming Hearts
by Jennifer Sparks

It’s all the rage – those positive acts of kindness where people “pay it forward” to make someone’s day shine just a little brighter. Because flowers are the perfect way to do just that, we — the Society of American Florists — hit the busy streets of New York City today, handing out thousands of flower bouquets (4,000 to be exact) to busy morning commuters to help brighten up their mid-week slumps. Our way of paying it forward? To PETAL IT FORWARD!

We have university research that shows that a gift of flowers creates instant delight and increases enjoyment and life satisfaction. We also know from a recent survey that while 80 percent of people feel happy when they receive flowers, even more – 88 percent – report that givingflowers makes them happy. So, not only did we pay it forward and make peoples’ day, but we gave recipients a chance to do the same, in a big way. They received two bouquets, one to keep (big smiles!) and one to share with a loved one, coworker, or even a stranger who needed a lift (off-the-chart smiles!).

The best part: In addition to New York, florists across the country are making the effort to petal it forward in their local communities this week, from New Hampshire to New Jersey to South Carolina to Illinois to Minnesota to Colorado to California to Alaska! More than 30 events are taking place nationwide.

Fall Flower Foliage

October 6, 2015 by Leave a Comment

It’s October and our friends at the Society of American Florists know the best in fall flowers! Here is a great article coming from SAF’s blog, aboutflowersblog.com.

Fall is a Great Time for Fun, Foliage…and Flowers
by Brian Wheat

I’m blessed to live in an area of the country with four distinct seasons, where the trees and shrubs begin to notice the changing temperatures; their shadows grow longer, their leaves preparing for the inevitable change that’s lurking just around the corner. Across the country, fun-times abound with autumn festivals of pumpkins, hot apple cider and hayrides for many families’ weekend destination. A longstanding tradition of loading up the kids in the car and heading off to a farmer’s field to pick the perfect pumpkins and to make jack-o’-lanterns, connecting with Mother Nature and respecting her bounty. Fall is a time to be thankful, to reflect and show your appreciation by planting and by giving flowers.

Some wonderful traditional fall flowers to plant are the hardy garden mums with their palette of classic autumn hues of golds, yellows, bronze, purples and orange.

5 Reasons To Send Flowers October ’15

October 2, 2015 by Leave a Comment

We all know about Halloween but that really isn’t the only holiday to celebrate this month. Here are five other reasons to send flowers in October!

1. World Teachers’ Day – October 5th

Primary, high school, and college teachers–let’s celebrate them all! Teachers are a key component in the education of our children and deserve a big “Thank You.” A small arrangement with gerberas, sunflowers or roses would be great to gift that very special teacher.

2. You Matter To Me Day – October 7th

Take time to show your appreciation for the special people in your life. Perhaps your husband or wife, parents, children, a neighbor, or a friend. Let them know how much they truly matter, “because everyone matters to someone and someone matters to you.”

3. Get To Know Your Customer Day – October  15th

This is a chance for all business owners to interact a little more with customers. Show appreciation for their help in making your business a success. A great idea to give back is to give a flower arrangement away to a lucky customer!

4. National Boss Day – October 16th

A good relationship with the boss is always the start of a good work environment. This day was created to strengthen the relationships between employer and employee. A great way to celebrate this day is by giving flowers! An arrangement of mature roses or a mini-plant to display in an office are great choices for this occasion.

5. Mother-In-Law Day – October 25th

Without our mother-in-laws, we wouldn’t have our spouses! Take a moment today to thank these wonderful ladies with a beautiful flower arrangement and create a deeper connection–a more special bond.

Flowers can be sent any day of the year! Don’t wait for a specific holiday to get here when you can delight the special people in your life today. Head to your local florist, where infinite reasons for happiness await!

Fall Flower Trends

September 25, 2015 by 1 Comment

We are finally in the autumn season and our friends at the Society of American Florists have put together an article describing this year’s fall flower trends! We wanted to share this great article coming from SAF’s blog, aboutflowersblog.com.

Fall Flower Trends
by Leanne Kesler

The seasons are changing … the hot and dry days of summer are cooling. Mother Nature has her paintbrush at work adding vibrant color to the woodlands. Florists, too, are embracing the changing seasons. The traditional favorites, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, berries and late harvest garden roses are abundant. Add to this the new and fabulous floral treasures of thornless blackberries, textural celosia, autumn-hued orchids and exotic pincushion protea, and you have found the delights of the season. Colors for autumn 2015 are rich and lustrous. Fire hues of red, orange and yellow are updated with sophisticated touches of metallic copper, gold and silver.

Chrysanthemums bloom in fabulous autumn hues. Creative design pairs the traditional bloom with trendy metallics. These are certainly not your mother’s chrysanthemums.

Wedding Trends: Boutonnieres

September 21, 2015 by Leave a Comment

As we get into the cooler months, here is a collection of boutonnieres that are trending now for end of summer and beginning of fall weddings!

Chic Mix

A variety of blooms and greens, such as dusty miller, give this romantic boutonniere a style of its own. Combining a mixture of seasonal blooms adds to the just-picked look and truly stands out.

Bloom Bunches

Mixing small florals in a variety of colors can give any boutonniere a full look.  A combination of neutral colors with a pop of yellow, blue, or purple, can add to an outdoor themed wedding!

Rustic Accents

To make a boutonniere really stand out, consider small pine cones that really add to the season. One or two mixed in with a strand of wheat completes the rustic theme and makes for a unique design.

Don’t hesitate to get creative with boutonnieres. Even though it is a small design, it truly stands out and can be the finishing touch to a memorable occasion!
